Cool sway bars

i was looking on a web site and there were 3 options

Front and Rear Kit $323.95
Ships between 06/21/2010 - 06/22/2010
  • Bar Diameters: Front 35mm - Rear 21mm


Front Bar $201.95
Ships between 06/21/2010 - 06/22/2010
  • Bar Diameter: Front 32mm


Rear Bar $154.95
Ships between 06/21/2010 - 06/22/2010
  • Bar Diameter: Rear 25mm

my question is wats the difference between the 35mm and 32mm fronts and 21mm and 25mm rear? does this mean the shorter bar gives more anti roll? or it doesnt make a different? i understand its an option if somebody is looking to replace either the front or the real only. learn me please

holy crap, just go to a bone yard and grab some off a Z28. unless you already own a z28 im sure this way will be much cheaper than that and have little difference between them.

This is whats on the SS and LE1's. You do not want to get a hollow bar from the junk yard cause they tend to crack with age and use.

you will prolly not notice a 3 MM difference in the diameter. NASCAR drivers might in their racecars but that is about it. Solid ones are better for long life and are pretty cheap.

For arguably the best option, go for the StranoParts swaybars for weight savings and performance:

The link you provided mentioned a change in SS sway bars in 2001 -- do you know what the change was?
